Carmine Falcone : [ feigning insanity ] Yeah, Doctor Crane, I can't take it anymore. It's all too much. "The walls are closing in." Blah, blah, blah. Couple more days of this food, it'll be true.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : What do you want?
Carmine Falcone : I want to know how you're gonna convince me to keep my mouth shut.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : About what? You don't know anything.
Carmine Falcone : I know you wouldn't want the police to take a closer look at those drugs they found. And I know about your experiments with the inmates of your nuthouse. See, I don't go into business with a guy without finding out his dirty secrets. And those goons you used - I own the muscle in this town. Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months, so whatever he's planning, it's big, and I want in.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Well, I already know what he'll say: that we should kill you.
Carmine Falcone : Even he can't get me in here. Not in my town.
Dr. Jonathan Crane : [ sighs, then matter-of-factly ] Would you like to see my mask? I use it in my experiments. Probably not very frightening to a guy like you, but these crazies, they can't stand it. [ he gets out a mask - a burlap sack stitched and altered to look like a scarecrow's head - and puts it on ]
Carmine Falcone : So when did the nut take over the nuthouse? [ Crane sprays a hallucinogenic gas into Falcone's face; he begins to scream in terror as the gas takes effect: Crane's voice is altered, and the mask appears to move like a real face ]
The Scarecrow : They scream and they cry, much as you're doing now. [ Cuts to later outside Falcone's cell. He is still screaming ]
Dr. Jonathan Crane : Well, he's not faking, not this one. I'll talk to the judge and see if I can get him moved to the secure wing
